Spotify Android App not connecting to Moode Spotify renderer

[the_bertrum]

Hi everybody! Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I have the same problem this evening - cannot connect to Spotify renderer on Moode, which worked perfectly fine yesterday. I'm running fully up-to-date version and haven't changed anything on my Raspberry Pi in the meantime. I rebooted it several times (sometimes Spotify Connect stops working and reboot helps) but it still cannot connect - the icon just flashes in Spotify Desktop/Android apps. I'd appreciate any suggestions for troubleshooting, thanks!

Edit: it connected after 1 minute of attempting. However the slider in the client apps is not updated with the progress of the track. Seems like a problem on the Spotify side.

I get similar faults on occasion and find that Spotify can be shaken from it's slumber by a reboot of the control device and a restart of the Spotify renderer in moOde.  I surmise that both ends of the connection need to be "made to forget" each other.
